Forum post: https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/addressing-the-conflict-of-interest-in-nomination-of-candidates-for-the-security-council/22843

Constitution:

> No candidate with conflicts of interest that would prevent them from acting in the best interests of the ArbitrumDAO, Governed Chains and/or The Arbitrum Foundation should be elected to the Security Council. Potential conflicts of interest could be, but are not limited to, affiliations with direct Arbitrum competitors, proven histories of exploiting projects and others.
